Pitti Uomo 105
Get inspired by the styles seen scenic streets of Florence and the winter edition of Pitti Uomo. For this edition of the fair, we dressed our dear friend and renowned fashion consultant Carlos Domord.
He wanted to have a coordinated beige suit and an overcoat in a matching fabric. The suit and overcoat were both to be made in a herringbone pattern, in a soft sandy beige color. We looked through our extensive fabric collection and found one that aligned with his vision.
The vision
The herringbone suit fabric, weighing 520 grams per meter, is 100% wool and offers exceptional drape and feel to the garments. Woven by the esteemed Italian mill, Fratelli Tallia Di Delfino, it is truly stunning.
Opting for light beige and sand tones in winter breaks away from the usual and expected darker colors and adds warmth and elegance to the overall ensemble.
Even though the pattern looks quite striking, the overall look remains very wearable and elegant thanks to the soft colors. It’s an ideal ensemble for the autumn, winter, and transitional weather days.
Styling the suit and overcoat
When wearing a suit or an overcoat with a bold pattern, simplicity is key for a balanced look. Follow Carlos’s lead and pair it with solid-colored shirts to offset the boldness of the herringbone. A classic white shirt like our Superior White Twill Journey is an excellent choice and a wardrobe essential for every gentleman.
Carlos added contrast to the whole outfit by selecting a tie in a houndstooth pattern. For the shoes, he chose a pair of brown suede loafers which complemented the look beautifully.
Loafers rank among the most versatile footwear options, effortlessly transitioning from casual to semi-formal occasions.
At Pitti Uomo, loafers were showcased in both calf leather and suede variations, demonstrating their adaptability to different styles.
Whether paired with a suit, a pair of tailored trousers for a sophisticated look or with denim for a more relaxed vibe, loafers add a touch of elegance to any outfit.

933,82 €This tan TwistAir suit has a beautiful sand/beige colour with a slightly cooler hue. This suit is perfect for weddings as it combines some unique qualities, not only aesthetically but also practically. The fabric is wool, making it strong and formal, but the weave makes it light and comfortable - almost linen-like, but without the wrinkles. We've presented the suit in our business preset, our most minimal preset, to allow the beautiful colour and texture of the fabric to take centre stage. And it should be noted that this suit is by no means restricted to weddings, it is first and foremost a warm weather suit and can be styled as business wear as well as for the groom.
Wool is the gold standard for suit fabrics and this one is special as it is part of Mond's very own TwistAir collection. The fabric is woven with a special high twist that creates a thin and strong fabric with excellent drape. In addition, the TwistAir fabric is treated with a special finish that gives it a soft touch. As well as being beautiful and exclusive, this fabric is also very comfortable. The strong and durable yarn allows for a slightly looser weave that is breathable and even has some natural stretch, despite being made from 100% wool. Weighing in at 300g/m2, it is definitely on the lighter side for a wool fabric.
Styling this suit for a wedding is an easy affair, though it should be noted that this suit by nature of the relaxed cloth is not the first choice for a very formal wedding. For a wedding combine the suit with the mandatory white shirt, either a contrasting dark or complementing light tie. When it comes to shoes this suit goes wonderfully with all shades of brown, where darker brown shoes make for a more formal outfit. Black shoes are notoriously difficult to pull off with a beige suit, and thus we discourage it. If you’d like to take the formality of the suit up a notch you can always add waistcoat by asking about it in the chat. Since this suit is more on the subtle end you can be generous with accessories without fear of overdoing it. A personal favorite of ours is the boutonnière. A part form that, some cufflinks and a pocket square always make for a good addition.
